imageHow to Navigate a Second Career in Surgery

Presiding Officer and Introducer: David E. Beck, MD, FACS, FASCRS, New Orleans, LA
Lecturer: Patricia L. Roberts, MD, FACS, FASCRS, Burlington, MA

After 32 years at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, MA, Patricia L. Roberts, MD, FACS, FASCRS, resigned earlier this year from her position as chair, department of surgery, and senior staff surgeon, the department of colon and rectal surgery. It would be easy to assume that after a long and distinguished tenure, Dr. Roberts is retiring. Wrong. She’s making plans for her next career.

Dr. Roberts discusses her path to a new career and offers advice to her surgical colleagues who might harbor dreams of a similar journey during the 2019 Herand Abcarian Lecture: How to Navigate a Second Career in Surgery.

The Herand Abcarian Lecture was established by the Chicago Society of Colon and Rectal Surgery in 2006 to honor colon and rectal surgeon Herand Abcarian, MD, FACS, FASCRS, and to address issues of relevance to the surgical community at-large and focus on emerging issues in surgery.
